Outside of Norway vs. England in the FIFA World Cup, the other major betting event Saturday July 11, 2026 will no doubt be Conor McGregor taking on Max Holloway. McGregor promises better than a $200 payout for every $100 bet to beat Holloway.
The 37-year-old Irishman is also convinced he’ll have his way with Max Holloway in the main event of UFC 329 at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night.
The two will meet in a welterweight bout, as McGregor will compete for the first time in more than five years.
“Hallelujah!” McGregor exclaimed on Wednesday. “The Mac is back.”
McGregor earned a unanimous decision over Holloway in a featherweight clash in 2013, when neither was an MMA megastar.
McGregor admitted this week that stardom - and success in the UFC - likely went to his head.
“I launched an Irish whiskey,” McGregor said. “I didn’t drink heavily, if at all, at that time of my life. I was an athlete at the top of my game. Next thing you know, thousands upon thousands of bottles (are) in my garage.
”‘Sell this, Conor.’ OK, I’d leave my property with two bottles under my arm, and that was it. I was caught. And I wasn’t used to it. And that’s it. God gave me these lessons. That’s it. I was trapped and caught, and it is what it is.”
